Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on the vehicle.

2. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

• Inspect Suspension:
  • Remove the wheel to access suspension components.
  • Check for wear or play in the ball joints, tie rods, and control arms.
• Replace Components (if necessary):
  • If any component shows significant wear, remove the retaining bolts using a socket set.
  • Replace the worn component with a new part, ensuring to torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Reinstall Wheel:
  • Place the wheel back onto the hub and torque the lug nuts to the specified value.

3. Inspect and Service CV Joints

• Inspect CV Joints:
  • Check the CV boots for tears or leaks.
  • If damaged, remove the CV joint from the axle using a socket set.
• Replace or Grease CV Joint:
  • If replacement is needed, install a new CV joint and ensure it's securely fastened.
  • If servicing, clean the joint and apply fresh CV grease before reassembly.

4. Test Drive the Vehicle

• Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle.
• Conduct a test drive at low speeds to verify that the knocking sound has been resolved.
